She Received No Love-

she was a beautiful baby girl, born in love but grew with none that would teach her it’s meaning, her mother, an alcoholic/bi-polar her father never around to guide her, starving and love neglected, this child soon became a big sister to a baby girl created out of deceit at five years old, she watched over her sister, when mom was passed out or with someone other than dad, yet she received no love… she sometimes went for days without food for herself or the baby mom spent the money on cigarettes and beer, mom couldn’t understand at ten, mom and dad divorced, she and her sister were now in her mom’s care she was all alone and frightened and she received no love… neglected, abused, she struggled for acceptance from someone, somewhere, her mother was good at hiding their situation from family members soon, mom got so bad she gave the girls to their father and step mother who abused them, locked them away, still she received no love.. at fifteen, she begged to live with her loving grandparents, they loved her and guided her to jesus, where she got nurtured in love she graduated high school and married a young man who her aunt arranged for her to meet, she loved where she received no love… she bore two lovely girls whom she raised with love, endeared by the family that raised her, saved from a home, where she received no love… Copyright © 2010 By Caryl S.

Such a strong character in your moving poem, Caryl...amazing how love can make a huge difference and it's wonderful to know that despite not being loved for most of her life, she was still able to give love, that girl has a huge heart indeed...I know this will do well in the contest...:)

I am in tears Caryl from this read so sensitive and so touching .. sure to win a high placement if not top spot in the contest..good luck.. don't forget to put your theme from Constance at the bottom so not to be disqualified.. I am sure it is ABUSE.. so add it in as a footnote... a masterpiece to me.. luv.. Linda-Marie.. I don't recall my entry from the intensity of your poem ..I think its FAITH but your poem just locked my mind from its beauty..luv.. Linda-Marie
